May 16, 1951 VerhovayJournal MINUTES OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS’ MEETING (Continued from page 6) prepare the Report of the Board of Directors for presentation to the National Convention. 63. ) The Board hears with pleasure and great satisfaction the report on the arrangements made for the 8th Annual Verhovay National Bowling Tournament to be held in Chicago, 111., on May 5 and 6, 1951. It is gratifying to learn that a total of 92 teams have entered the tournament and that the new rules and regulations adopted by the National Executive Committee have met with the approval of the bowling membership. From all indications this promises to be the biggest and best tournament ever sponsored, all of which will be to the credit of the Association. The report is acknowledged with appreciation. 64. ) The reports of the National Officers and the Field Manager are adopted and approved in detail by the Board of Directors. 65. ) In view of the fact that all business on the agenda of the meeting had been completed, National President John Bencze adjourns the meeting at 5:05 P.M. He is happy to note that the most serious problems confronting „he( Board of Directors have been resolved with utmost fairness, and that the actions of the Board of Directors throughout the deliberations were marked by a high degree of cooperative enterprise and understanding. Since this is a Covention year, bringing with it manifold problems, he reiterates his belief that we will go forward in the same spirit and cooperatively accomplish the tasks confronting us. He expresses his appreciation to the Board and with deep conviction as to our future success, he bids the Board members Godspeed cn their destination homeward. 66. ) Similarly, Chairman of the Board Julius Macker, gives expression to his feeling of appreciation to the Directors for the task accomplished. Little did he believe that so much could be accomplished by the end of the week. It: was a very difficult 6 months to evaluate, but the foundation of great progress laid down previously has begun to bear fruit. Satisfied at the outcome of the meeting and with the peaceful manner in which the deliberations were carried to conclusion, he extends his best wishes to the Board members on their homeward journey.

JOHN SABO, National Auditor. FIELD SUPERVISOR FRANK WUKOVÍTS RECOVERING FROM OPERATION It was with deep regret that the Home Office received the news of Frank Wukovits, Field Supervisor. Manager of Branch 132, South Bend, Ind., Verhovay’s outstanding gogetter, being confined to St. Joseph’s Hospital in South Bend, Ind., a month ago. After two weeks’ treatment, it was decided to operate and the operation, performed a week before our National Bo wling Tom nament, was an outstanding success. Mr. Wukovits was visited at the hospital by National President John Bencze on April 21st and subsequently at his home on May 4th. Field Manager and Mrs. Henry Rettmann visited him on April 19, 21, May 3 and 7th. For the Rettmann's these were return visits for Mr. Wukovits has visited Field Manager Rettmann several times last October and November in Mercy Hospital, Gary, Ind., after Mr. Rettmann was seriously injured in an automobile accident. In fact, at one of his visits he even donated a pint of blood to Mr. Rettmann. It was a great relief for all of us to find Mr. Wukovits rapidly improving and we are looking forward to the day when he again will be able to return to his office. We are certain that the good members of South Bend will be considerate of Mr. Wukovits’ condition and not expect any house-calls from him during his convalescence and help him attain the earliest possible recovery by calling at the district office whenever requiring services. Our best wishes go to Mr. Wukovits and his family in this trying period and our thanks to Director Mr. Stephen Nyers who, in the absence of Mr. Wukovits, took his place in the District Office for the convenience of the membership. HUNGARIAN EX-D.P. SERVES IN U.S. ARMY Steve E. Szappanos As far as we know, Steve E. Szappanos is the first among the Hungarian D.P. immigrants in Cleveland who has been called to the colors. The son of Mr. and Mrs. Steve Szappanos, Sr., of 2766 B. 125th St., who together with Steve Jr., and his younger brother Thomas, are chartermembers of Branch 573, Cleveland, O., serves with the 360th Army Chemical, Decom. Center in Edgewood, Maryland. The young people of Branch 573 regret his absence for Steve is an excellent dancer, well liked by all PAGE 7 ONLY SURVIVOR OF U.S. TANK CORPS IN KOREA WAR Cpl. Paul Deldridge Last fall, LIFE Magazine featured a picture story on the Korean war, showing a column of Sherman tanks striking into enemy territory. “Cut loose from slower moving infantry,” the report reads, “tanks moved behind enemy lines, shooting up anything in sight. Then, instead of trying to hold ground, they raced back before Reds could trap them,” In a close-up, one of the Shermans is shown with the four men manning the tank. The face of one of them is very familiar to the members of Br. 23, Pocahontas, Va. It’s that of 18 year old Cpl. Paul Deldridge, an honorably discharged veteran who looks back upon two years service in the armed forces of which he spent the period of August 11 to September 20, 1950, on the Korean front. It seems hardly possible that an 18 year old should have two years of military service behind him, but that’s what happened, for Paul Deldridge, a member of Branch 23, enlisted when he was not quite 16, of course, without admitting his true age. That was in December, 1948. He was moved to the Korean front in August, 1950, where he distinguished himself by his heroism in action. But on September 20, 1950, it was found out* that he was under military age and that he had no business to be ln ehe midst of the shooting in Korea. He was returned to the U.S., and ‘„hat saved his life making him the only surviving member of the tank corps writh which he served. Shortly afterwards, the Reds succeeded in trapping the column . .. In ehe meantime, however, Cpl. Deldridge revived his honorable discharge on October 21, 1950. He lives in Whipple, W. Va., and all of his family are members of the Verhovay. for his charming friendliness, but Steve was happy lo don the uniform as his first step to U.S. citizenship. We know he will do well because he comes from a military family. His father-, who works in a' machine shop in Cleveland, used to be an officer of the amous Hungarian “Hussars.” History repeats itself. Hungary, that had given a long list of outstanding heroes to „he U.S., ever since the War of Independence, continues doing so through her sons to whom the land of the free had opened its gates.
